I would commend the use of 'och'. It's very versatile, but not with a mouthful of melted chocolate!!!

I believe when I made that batch of cheese with vinegar, I used a cup or less for a half-gallon of milk.
Try adding your flavorings (like herbs) right before you pour the milk through the strainer. They whey drains off pretty fast, and after a certain point, the cheese will be too solid to mix anything in.

Laudes from me as well, Aurelia! This sounds so simple, even I could try it. I like to cook, but cheese is one I've never tried to make. Hmm, must get milk....

I just started experimenting
The soon to be cheese is cooling of right now. I didn't have cheesecloth so I used two dishtowels (non used ones :lol: ). I added some random herbs and some garlic powder. I'm curious how it will taste. Oh, and I used vinegar. Can someone (Aurelia?) please tell me how you use the whey to make ricotta? I tried boiling it and added a little more vinegar but it does nothing, it just evaporates... :? This cheesemaking is very cool, I will definetely start doing this a lot. Someone mentioned adding onions. Fresh or dried? Vale,

Also, do you leave the cheese in the fridge overnight or not?
Vale,

I would let the cheese cool in the fridge overnight if you want it to be slice-able. If you prefer a spreadable cheese, you can use it at room temperature.
As for the ricotta, I've never made it myself. It looks like there is a whey version (traditional) and a whole milk version. This page gives pretty good instructions on the traditional whey version (with pictures!) http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Ricotta-Cheese
